Post subject: 95 Integra clutch problem
|
|
|
|
| When I start my car, there is a rattling metal sound when I put in neutral, also, when I am in 2 or 3 gear around 30KM/H, the rattling metal sound happen again.. After a while of driving, it went away. Also, when my engine is warm, the rattling metal sound disappear. The auto shop said that my problem is w/ the clutch and need to be replace. Can anyone confirm that for me?
Thanks,

As TeGGer says, probably the heat shield. Clutch sounds change when you have
the pedal pressed or not. And you can drive on a noisy clutch for years and
years. Maybe time to find another auto shop?

Check for loose heat shields on the exhaust.

Could be. Sound travels, so it may not actually be from that location at
all. A stock exhaust has heat shields all over the place, including two
bracketing the exhaust manifold.
Get underneath and start wiggling them and tapping them with a finger. The
loose one will soon be obvious.
The two that make the most noise are the upper cat and the inner manifold
ones.
You can replace it if you wish. Most of them are in the $20-$50 range. You
can also just rip them off (although I do not recommend this approach). If
you tear off the ones for the catalytic converter, don't park over dry
grass.
One I haven't heard in a while is the A-pipe rattle, which used to be vvery
common. If your heat shileds are tight, and nothing else is loose, you
might want to have that checked out.

Sorry to sound stupid, but when you say could be. Do you mean could be the heatshield problem or could be in danger of driving.
I am going to trade in my car to a dealership down here in San Jose in about 3 more weeks. I am renting a car to drive now because I don't want to my car to worsen any further and have to send thousands to fix it.
I drove the car again yesterday, the rattling metal sound is like scraping metal to metal sound and that really freak me out. and happen when I accelerate. But of course, it disappear after I've driven it for a while. That's why everytime I go to my mechanic, the car always sounded fine. >> Stay informed about: 95 Integra clutch problem |

If it's a heat shield, the only danger will be that it will eventually fall
off onto the road, get squashed by a truck, skitter around for a few days
and eventually get swept into the ditch.
If the noise is intermittent, it could mean that the shield is just
starting to come loose and is still holding on well enough that when the
exhaust heats up and expands, it's gripped a little better.
If it's a heat shield, it will eventually make noise even when the car is
warm. And when it finally falls off, it may make a big bang and thump and
scare the daylights out of you.
